Help— Eyes are Closed!

[Rango_TheManEater]

Hey, everybody!

I recently came home and noticed that Rango had been lying in the same spot with both of his eyes closed. I figured that, since it was just before bedtime, he was winding down early.

But now, I’m genuinely worried. He’s still lying in the same spot all day with his eyes closed. He’s been doing this for maybe 3 days now.

Do I need to take him to an emergency vet??

Hes showing stress colors but doesnt look under weight nor dehydrated. Many of us feel taking to the vet stresses them even more. Id just up the hydration attempts and monitor the situation for more sick signs. I assume he has no discharge from various orifices and poo is normal. Now if he had slobber or eye crusties or poopy vent /runny stool, well that would another sign.

Rango looks to be in healthy condition. If his eyes lids are fused you can up the misting in his enclosure and check if his eyes become unfused on their own. Or use a moist Q-Tip and have a go at unfusing Rango's eyes yourself. If that does not work then you can take Rango to the vet.
